Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 107
ततो मामपि तत्र नय ।
अथ वायसस्तत्र तेन मित्रेण सह विचित्रकथालापैः सुखेन तस्य सरसः
समीपं ययौ । ततो मन्थरो दूरादवलोक्य लघुपतनकस्य
यथोचितमातिथ्यं विधाय मूषिकस्यातिथिसत्कारं चकार ।
यतः ।
बालो वा यदि वा वृद्धो युवा वा गृहमागतः ।
तस्य पूजा विधातव्या सर्वत्राभ्यागतो गुरुः ॥
Therefore, take me there too. Then the crow arrived at the lake with ease conversing on diverse subjects with that friend of his. Then Manthara, having seen them from a distance, addressed a fitting welcome to Laghupatanaka and received the mouse with hospitality due to a guest. For, let a boy or an old man or a young man come to the house, respect should be shown to him; a guest is the object of worship everywhere.
